>>My post was not about pixiels but about the size in kbs of each photo that seems to be acceptable.<<

The point I was trying to make was that depending on the range and amount of colour in a photo, using image size (in KB) is not always a good indication of its dimensions in pixels (i.e. length by width). They are of course related, but not directly.

Ebay seems to prefer you to use an image that has its longest side around 1600 pixels or so. They don't specify what its file size should be, other than setting an upper limit (which slows down loading of the page if too big).
